I only found out at about 6:45pm at Sheffield station that Powelly had been bannished to the stand and when I saw what Powelly said in his post match interview I was left completely flabbergasted by the actions of referee Gary Sutton. Powelly said...
"I was asking for consistency and fairness but I didn't swear at the referee or point at him. He sent me to the stand because he said it was for the image of the game. He said I'd left my technical area but it was half-time so what was I meant to do?"
For god we have seen so many gaffers do that in the past when they have been annoyed by the ref but yet not been sent to the stand. There is a clear lack of respect towards managers from referees as much as the other way round. This ref is scum and clearly wanted to be the centre of attention and wants to tell his grankids about it.
He completely bottled the penalty and disallowed goal decisions. I'm not saying we would have gone on to get a win or even a draw from the game but you just want the correct decisions and not a ref who is going to behave like a scared jumped up little girl in front of the home fans.

Referees are too afraid to confront "big" name managers for fear of a backlash of being banished from the top flight, yet those in the lower leagues either seem to have a chip on their shoulder or are trying to get themselves noticed to earn themselves a promotion to the premier league. Happens far too often for my liking...............
Agree with Tango's point 100%: if it had been Sir having a pop at him he'd not have taken the same action.
That twat Sep Blatter can't change things to make things right on the pitch. The amount of times a ball has crossed the line without a goal given vis- versa is a joke.
When John Terry cleared the ball from the goal when it went past the line vs Ukraine at the euros and it was not given when it should have been, I didn't think payback, I just thought bollocks.
If we had all the correct major decisions from officials this season for and against including when we may have been a bit lucky with them, we would probably have another 8pts on the board...
